What do you want to play? Wonderful 101, Monster Hunter and Pikmin are coming out soon. If it's Zelda, Mario, or SSB you're after, you can afford to wait a year.---"And most of all, remember this: Your gems are the gems that will pierce the heavens. And you are truly, truly outrageous." ~ Scarizard

If you've got other consoles and other games, there's no reason to buy a WiiU right now. It looks to have potential, but the releases keep sliding, which means buying now leaves you with Nintendo land, NSMBU and a bunch of warmed-over ports.
